Love of the Past

Finally Married

Neva's steps came to a halt in front of a simple house overgrown with fruit trees. Back then, when Neva was little, every holiday, Neva must have come here. His uncle is the only brother of Neva's father.

"Assynnya!" greet Neva as soon as he stands in front of the door that is indeed open.

"Glamma!" I heard a reply from inside. An old man uses a stick out. Her hair was all white. The old man looked at Neva.

"Well?"

Neva smile. He came closer and kissed the back of his uncle's right hand with tears that had soaked his cheek.

"It's been a long time that uncle has never seen you. I'm sorry, but when your mother died, uncle couldn't come. Uncle can't stand riding a vehicle for long distances. Especially having to get on a plane."

Neva leads her uncle and the two sit on the sofa. "Why a lonely house?" ask Neva.

"Elis has been with her husband living in the city of Malang. They took my uncle there but he didn't want to leave the house."

Neva understands. This house is the home of Neva's grandparents. This house also became the place where his uncle and aunt lived for many years. Elis their only child was also born and raised here.

"Uncle, I came here because I wanted to ask uncle to be my guardian in my marriage. The plan is to get married in Malang. Uncle wants to, right?"

"Of course, son. Who else will marry you besides uncle? Then where's your future husband?"

"He's outside. I'll call you for a minute." Neva came out and called Eldar who was waiting for her in the car. Eldar went in and kissed Neva's uncle.

"Oldar's parents don't approve of our relationship. But we already love each other. We fear adultery, so we want to marry, uncle." Neva said. That's the story he made up so that his uncle didn't ask much about Eldar's parents who didn't exist.

Uncle Neva didn't ask much. He simply said that marriage was worship and that what Neva and Eldar did was right to avoid deplorable deeds. But he also hoped that Neva and Eldar could ask Eldar's parents for blessing because the parents' blessing would be a blessing in their household.

Later that afternoon, Eldar and Neva take Neva's uncle to town. They also head to Neva's cousin's house. Elis was thrilled to see Neva coming with her future husband. Elis is married and has 2 children aged 5 and 3 years. Elis' husband is a PNS who works in the education department. Elis is an elementary school teacher. Neva is proud to see the simple but happy life of Elis.

At the sight of Elis's children, Neva's heart trembled. He remembered something.

"What's the matter, baby?" tanya Eldar looked at Neva's teary eyes.

"No." Neva took a deep breath. "We're on a pilgrimage to father's grave, huh? You were buried in Malang."

"Good baby."

Completed the pilgrimage to the tomb of his father, Neva and Eldar return to the hotel. Rangga who takes care of all their papers including permission to do business in this city.

Neva's wedding dress has been prepared Eldar from Jakarta. Neva wants to marry a white kebaya. Their wedding rings are there. Ordered by express. It's all just 1 week.

"What are you thinking?" asked Eldar while hugging Neva from behind. Neva stood in front of the large glass in the room while looking at the beautiful night of Malang City.

"Why do you want us to get married here, baby?" asked Eldar without letting go of his embrace.

"First, because uncle is here. Second, because this was my dream since childhood. I want to get married in the mosque near my house first. Unfortunately, the house was sold before moving to Jakarta with the family of Oma Arya. Fortunately the mosque is still there even though it has undergone a change of form. When I was a kid, I saw a couple getting married there. And I said a prayer in my heart, O God I want to marry here too." Neva turned her body. "Actually I was sad because I could not get married witnessed by my father and mother. Indeed, when married to Genald mas, the mother still exists. But my mother knew I had to marry her."

Eldar wiped away Neva's tears with the back of his hand. "Don't cry anymore huh? We'll be happy. I'll give you a whole family. We'll enjoy being together until we're old."

"I hope you'll love Kintan too, El."

"Yes" replied Eldar looking uninspired. He was upset because before their happy day, Neva often reminded him of Kintan.

"Now we're bobo, yuk! It's 10 p.m." take Neva.

Eldar nodded. He picked up a pillow and headed to the sofa while Neva slept on the bed. That's what they agreed on together. Eldar will patiently wait until tomorrow and he is already legally Neva's husband.

**********

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Neva Viviani bint Abdul Qodir with the dowry paid in cash."

"Huh?"

"Well." Right."

Neva's tears flowed profusely as Eldar managed to pronounce the Kabul ijab in one breath. Eldar gave her a dowry of 100 grams of gold and 1 M of money. Neva herself was shocked by the dowry given by her husband.

After the ijab kabul event, Eldar invited the officers from KUA along with the mosque manager to have lunch together at the restaurant that had been prepared by them. Not to forget also Eldar made a donation to repair the existing mosque.

If the time is right, I'll make a fancy wedding reception for you, baby. I will introduce Neva as my wife whom I love the most. Inner Eldar.

After the lunch together of no more than 20 people, Neva also said goodbye to her uncle and cousin. Elis and Neva embrace while crying. When they were little, they were always together and now they have to be separated by distance and time.

"Elis, I want to give something to your family" Eldar said, pointing out a white car suitable for his small family with two children.

"Thank you, El." said Neva feeling deeply moved by Eldar's concern for her.

"Yesterday, while at Elis' house, I accidentally saw a car brochure on their dining table. Looks like Elis and her husband are considering buying a car. It's also a pity that the four of them have to go anywhere on a motorcycle. What if it rains? That's why I asked Rangga to try to find a suitable car for their family."

Neva hugged Eldar.

"We went to the hotel and went straight to the hotel because I couldn't wait to enjoy our bridal night." whispered Eldar making Neva's face blush immediately.

*********

From the hotel, Eldar and Neva fly directly to Bali to carry out a honeymoon for 3 days. Neva who was only given permission by Lorry's mother for 1 week certainly could not stay in Bali for long.

They arrived in Bali when the time was already showing at half-seven graves. Both of them go directly to the private villa in the Ubud area.

After the shower, both were served dinner at the villa.

"Racid?" eldar asked as he looked at Neva who ate only a little.

"Lumayan."

"Why eat a little?"

"I'm still full, El."

Eldar grabbed Neva's hand and grasped it tightly. "Don't call, El. You should call me mas or darling. When you were dating you even called me honey."

Neva smile. "All right, ma'am."

"Well, that's dong."

After dinner, the two chose to sit on the terrace while enjoying the night air with beautiful beach views. Neva sat down while leaning against Eldar's chest.

"You happy, baby?" asked Eldar while linking his finger with Neva's finger.

Neva nodded. He was indeed happy even though there was actually a sense of fear for the marriage they were living. There's still one secret that Neva hasn't told Eldar. Actually he was afraid to say it because Neva did not want Eldar to cancel his marriage with Kintan.

"I'm actually building a house right now. Maybe in 4 months the house will be ready to be occupied. I want to give it to you, baby. For our children later."

"Kids?" Neva swallowed her bitter-tasting saliva.

"Yes. Don't you want us to have children?" ask Eldar.

"Eh I ....!" Neva is confused what to say.

"I want us to have many children. And so we have to work to make it from now on" Eldar said and began kissing Neva's open shoulder.

"Mass ...!" Neva closed her eyes. Eldar's touch like this was greatly missed. Eldar immediately stood up and grabbed Neva's body to enter the room. This time Eldar did not want to hold himself back. Indeed, this was not their first night. However, tonight still feels very special because now Neva has become his wife.

Arriving in the room, Eldar invites Neva to pray Sunnah as much as two rakaat. Neva returned to tears as Eldar was now his priest.

The sound of waves was heard from a distance. Neva put her body in the arms of her husband.

"Racid?" whispered Eldar as he stroked the innocent back of his wife. He closed his eyes while enjoying the remains of the hot peaks of their romance.

"Yes. Two rounds, man."

Eldar chuckles. "It's actually still going to be one more time."

"Maas ...." Neva pinched Eldar's chest spoiled.

"Sleep. From tonight onwards, I will never let you sleep alone."

Neva closed her eyes. He actually wanted to protest with the words Eldar. How could he continue to sleep with Eldar every night. What if Eldar is married to Kintan? Just thinking that Neva's heart immediately hurt. Who was this polygamy of Eldar?
